Using the title Tragic Overture the piece was played for the first time at a concert given by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra on 4 January 1905, several months after Dvo?\xe1k\x92s death. The title Dramatic Overture that is normally used might be easily confused with the Hussit Overture, Op.7, which is known by the same title. Rusalka (1901) marked Dvo?\xe1k\x92s late breakthrough as an opera composer, after which he began exploring possibilities for his next opera and came across the possibility of a new libretto in Jaroslav Vrchlick\xfd\x92s Armida. The work is especially noteworthy for Dvo?\xe1k\x92s independent and imaginative use of the leitmotif and the way he set the exotic tonal landscape of the East to music. But the premiere on 25 March 1904 was only a modest success. Dvo?\xe1k died a few weeks later, on 1 May. Nowadays Armida is rarely performed only the overture which includes themes of the opera has survived as a concert piece.Sinfonie Nr. 2 B-Dur Op. 4
Dramatische Ouverture Op. Posth. B 16a (Ouverture Zu Alfred)
Ouverture Zu Armida Op. 115
